Question
can you lose weight by doing accupunture? I have tried so many diet plans and so may exercise plans. everyone says accupunture can help my metabolism speed up so i can lose weight  

Answer
Dear Patricia,

My apology for the delayed response.  My internet has been down and unable to log on to attend to all questions.  Each question is very important to me to do my best to provide the appropriate information.

Yes, Acupuncture can manage with weight control.  It is best to check out different acupuncturist since it may require an acupuncturist who specializes specifically to weight management.  My suggestion is to ask someone who had a good result with certain practitioners or simply receive a consultation and ask questions.
